"What's wrong? Can't answer?" Akainu's face darkened as he looked at the Marine soldiers in the field.
"Then tell me, in the next battle, how much of a price are you willing to pay? The entire sea is watching us now."
"Is it that you're planning to have a large portion of the warships sunk again before you can safely achieve victory?"
The rolling words scattered in the sea with the wind.
Onigumo's face was full of bitterness.
When he had been assigned by Sengoku to follow Akainu's fleet, he had been mentally prepared for the phenomenon of being sprayed wildly.
But he had never expected that the situation would be even more serious than he had imagined.
Right now, faced with Akainu's question, how was he supposed to answer and how was he supposed to find a way to step down?
"Haha, Akainu, you're still the same as always, like to take your anger out on your subordinates. This round of wild spraying has the demeanor of Sengoku."
A sudden burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
It eased the unusually oppressive atmosphere that had been enveloping the deck a little at once.
In this kind of occasion, only Garp could be so unscrupulous.
"Garp, what do you mean by this? Are you perhaps thinking that there's a problem with my leadership ability?" Akainu's face darkened as he glared back.
Faced with this scene, Garp was still unmoved as he put senbei into his mouth and said, "No, no, I'm blaming Zephyr. Why didn't he train a team of elite troops who were like copper walls and iron walls?"
"After all, faced with this kind of remnant of the old era, you, Akainu, were still making a cameo appearance on the side when we were encircling and suppressing them thirty years ago."
You! Akainu choked at once.
Faced with Garp's words, he couldn't refute them.
In the encirclement and suppression battle thirty years ago, Akainu and Kizaru were still just newly appointed rear admirals.
They simply weren't qualified to participate in this kind of battle.
The people who were mainly fighting were Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr.
In that battle, if it hadn't been for a traitor appearing in the Ward Pirates and being turned against them with inside and outside cooperation, then their casualties at the time would have been even greater.
Right now, after thirty years, Byrnndi's combat power had been greatly weakened, but he was still wearing the title of World Destroyer.
Even Sengoku and the others had suffered a great loss thirty years ago. Now Akainu was in command and lost two warships, yet he was making a big fuss.
It did indeed seem a bit of an overreaction.
"Alright, you guys shouldn't be making a big fuss here. If Sengoku hadn't asked me to personally supervise the battle, you guys would have started fighting among yourselves first." A hoarse voice suddenly came out.
Watching Tsuru, who was the Marine's chief staff officer, the tense atmosphere that had been at daggers drawn completely relaxed.
"Haha, Tsuru, you're still the same as always. Then I'll leave the matter here to you. I'll go back and sleep first." Garp watched someone smooth things over and was too lazy to linger. He turned around and planned to leave.
However, the words that fell into his ears just as he had taken a step made Garp's steps stiffen in mid-air.
"Garp, there's something I want you to make a trip for personally." Tsuru said in a deep voice, "Not long ago, according to reports from informants, the small Moby Dick that Whitebeard was riding had entered the Waters of Us. It seems that Silvers Rayleigh is also on board."
"Don't forget that they're all big figures of the old era. What kind of mentality they have for suddenly appearing here still requires you to make a trip personally."
"You have to remember that this contact isn't to let you start a war, it's to guard against them interfering."
Whitebeard? Hearing this name, not to mention Garp, even the Marine soldiers in the field had their expressions change drastically at once.
That was the sea king who was known as the strongest in the New World. The fact that he had suddenly run to this place undoubtedly made everyone's nerves tense.
"That guy Whitebeard has also come to join in the fun?" Garp raised his eyebrows and said, "A few days ago, Momousagi, that guy, had come for a trip. It seems that Kaido has also come."
"No wonder that guy Sengoku would let you personally come to supervise the battle. For your sake, I'll go and meet Whitebeard. It's been a long time since I've asked for his family's wine to drink."
After dropping these words, Garp turned around and left.
Faced with the appearance of Whitebeard, who was known as the head of the Four Emperors, being able to say these calm and casual words like Garp, there was only one in the Marine Headquarters.
A moment later, watching Garp's battleship sail far away, Tsuru secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Akainu, I'll still have to leave the following matters to you. As for the prying eyes of outside forces, I've already had people keep an eye on them. I hope you can win this battle beautifully."
"Hmph, a group of remnants of the old era. No matter how many come, the result will be the same. I will also sink them into the sea one by one in the name of justice." Akainu snorted coldly with disdain.
He looked at the distant sea area and said, "This is already the new era of thirty years ago. Don't talk to me about the powerhouses of the old era anymore. They're all broken gears."
"Today, even if the Heavenly King comes, I will sink Byrnndi into the sea."
The rolling roars echoed on this sea.
Watching Akainu, who had an arrogant face, Tsuru fell into silence and eventually sighed.
"Glug glug, this is Vice Admiral, please request a call immediately."
The urgent sound of the Den Den Mushi suddenly echoed.
Akainu snatched the Den Den Mushi in Onigumo's hand and said in a deep voice, "What happened that made you so flustered?"
According to the arrangement in Akainu's memory, Vice Admiral should have been following Aokiji's fleet to pursue Byrnndi.
Now suddenly contacting him urgently, something big must have happened.
"Admiral Sakazuki, the Groseade, where Byrnndi is located, has suddenly changed its course direction. They're rushing towards you." Vice Admiral replied urgently.
"The defense line formed by the Shichibukai isn't putting their heart into stopping them at all. They'll soon be in front of you."
The hysterical roars echoed on the huge deck.
The moment all the Marine soldiers and even the generals tensed their nerves, they looked at the distant horizon, and their pupils contracted suddenly.
"He's coming, he's coming!"
A cry of alarm suddenly rang out and directly detonated the oppressive atmosphere in the field.
Watching the huge ship, which was like an island, on the distant horizon magnify quickly in their vision, the shocking sailing speed gave people the feeling that it was stampeding!
After two days of encirclement and pursuit, faced with the Marine's encirclement net, Byrnndi World, the World Destroyer, who was a remnant of the old era, was clearly at the end of his rope.
In their eyes, they had originally thought that they could force Byrnndi into a dead end and exhaust his strength through a method of gradually pressing closer.
They had never expected that at the final moment, he would become so crazy and stampede.
He had taken the initiative to attack them.
"Bang bang bang!"
The muffled artillery sound suddenly resounded on the sea.
Streams of fire exploded on the huge Groseade, which was like an island.
The cannonballs that were wrapped in scorching flames numbered as many as dozens. It was clear that they had formed a barrage as soon as they took action.
